The verdict

Nello runs at 246% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Barge sections, prefabricated metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Nello: 8.1 TCR = 246% of Barge sections, prefabricated metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Nello safety composite

Nello scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
